Gauging Student Needs Assessment Purpose of the Assessment To gather information about what students already know and what connections they make with music and current events. What I want to learn from my students? I want to find out what they already know about the Unit Questions and what how they think music is impacted by events in history. How I have tried to promote higher-order thinking? I ask students to find relationships and draw conclusions about music and historical events. How the assessment information helps me and my students plan for upcoming activities in the unit? It provides me with information about how much support the students will need in producing the stupeflix. What feedback or additional ideas I’d like? I would like help on whether or not I answered these questions in the correct way.
